Marketing and Communications Manager

Established in 2002, Greenhouse Sports is a youth charity specifically using sport to support social change. Sport is our hook to engage young people and one of the vehicles through which we support youth development. But our purpose is not to create elite athletes or address physical inactivity. Rather, we create opportunities for young people to recognise their strengths and develop the skills they need to thrive both now and in the future.

We work across London, Portsmouth, and Leicester, specifically in areas of high deprivation. We embed evidence-based positive youth development programmes into primary and secondary schools. These programmes are delivered by our trusted, high-quality coach-mentors who deliveryear-roundto ensure that young people haveongoingaccess to sport, mentoring, enrichment, and employability activities. The result of this work is that every year, Greenhouse Sports support over 9,000 young people to attend school more often, improve their wellbeing, and raise their aspirations, transforming life chances in the communities that need us the most.

This opportunity is like finding a needle in haystack. Seriously.

Our team is compact. There's one spot opening for someone who can help take us to the next level. Someone who won't tire of seeing and feeling the impact we have on children's lives every day. Someone who is bubbling with ideas and wants the freedom (and plenty of support and connections) to make them a reality. Someone who'll be energised by the variety of the role week in, week out. One minute you'll find yourself sharpening the storytelling around our latest research, the next you'll be on the sports court with young people and a national broadcaster.

The Marketing & Communications Manager at Greenhouse Sports is a senior role - we need to amplify our voice, reach new audiences and generate new channels of support. You'll bring a critical approach to our every move, whilst getting on and making things happen to take Greenhouse forward.

It's ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategic communications, brand stewardship, storytelling, influence-building and campaign leadership.
